Israel demolishes 47 Bedouin homes in Negev Desert to make way for highway
Ramallah, May 11 (RHC)-- Israel has bulldozed 47 homes of the Palestinian Bedouin community in the Negev Desert, home to some 500 people.
Israel is planning on building a highway on the site of the demolished homes, but the approval for the construction has yet to be granted.
No alternative housing has been set up for the families who have now been rendered homeless.
The Regional Council of Unrecognized Villages of Negev said the demolition was unprecedented in its “scope of the destruction and the hatred.”
